It could also be that Chrome has lots of tabs open, or that you have multiple apps running in the background.
Fundamentally it's a RAM issue... large compressed images expand to very large uncompressed images to be rendered, and that page has a lot of large images.
So it's hitting an out of memory exception, effectively killing the tab.
I always knew there was an edge case here, that by allowing large attachments and allowing multiple attachments... that mobile devices could be impacted.
This is that edge case.
My hope was that the exponential increase in performance of computing devices and network connections would outpace the issue and so we'd not encounter it.... but a thread in which almost every post is max number attachments and large attachments... that's exactly the worst case scenario.
It's not going to happen often... and is viewable on desktops and tablets.
So unfortunately the honest assessment is: That page won't work for some devices that have limited RAM and storage (virtual RAM).

Ha it didn't even occur to me that I could just open it on my laptop!
Thanks for putting the time in to explain.

Depends on the tablet, that page crashes Firefox/Android on my entry-level Samsung (Galaxy Tab A7 3GB RAM+2GB virtual RAM, Firefox 104.2.0, Android 12) even after killing every other background app.

It's a relatively new (under 12 months old) Moto GYP running the latest Android, but it's a budget phone I guess.
